Not-Exactly-Guilty Pleasure

Bridey fun fact: I love writing cards. I'm not one of those "Dear So&So, [insert Hallmark greeting here]. Love, X" kind of people. Oh no. When I write someone a card, I fill the whole inside/back/front/whatever with words. I love blank cards for that reason -- nothing to get in my way. When someone has something coming up, I will think about what I should write for at least a couple days before sitting down and actually doing it. And I love every minute of it.

So, with my love for writing notes comes a love for awesome stationery. I have a box at home that I'm slowly filling with greeting cards, thank you cards, and postcards so that I can always be ready to send a note when needed. Today I gave into my temptation a little more than usual and ordered a couple "congrats on the baby" cards (which was the original plan) from Felt & Wire and two box sets of Christmas flatnotes from Hammerpress. While it was not my intention to flood the house with packages of cards, I decided to give in a little bit. Plus, might as well start thinking about Christmas now; if there is one thing I've learned, it's that good Christmas cards are always sold out if you wait too long.
